Raw Banana – South Indian Style

I am a great fan of banana in all its varieties, specially the yellow skinned (elaichi) ones. This is one humble fruit that’s perennial and there to serve you at all times of the year. Its loaded with nutrition and pack a good energy punch.
If you think bananas are just for monkeys, think again. Reasons – Bananas combat depression, make you smarter, cure hangovers, relieve morning sickness, protect against kidney cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and blindness. They can cure the itch of a mosquito bite and put a great shine on your shoes. Topping it all, its a blessing for insomniacs like me.

Raw bananas serve as a good starter when deep fried as chips. This time I thought why not make it as a part of the main-course. Foodies with a sweet n sour tooth will enjoy this one.

P.S. : Skip the tamarind paste if you want it less sour.
When served hot, its a great companion for chapatis, rotis or appams. Infact, I also loved it just like that even when it was cold.
The sweet-sour flavours of the banana are irresistible at all temperatures 🙂

About Me

Hiya!
I am Natasha Gracious and I love love love coffee. I think I have OCD - obsessive coffee disorder :P . When God got all weary creating the world, he created coffee to keep going. Ironically, it was tea that was my first dish... umm...beverage. I'd made it for my grandpa... at the age of six. That experience, from brewing to serving, made me realize how much I loved to cook. I like to think of myself as an adventurous foodie. Try everything at least once, is what I firmly believe. And travel... it's wonderful to have a partner who shares your passion, isn't it. Bites And Places was born so I could share the nibbles of my sojourn with you.
Life is like that perfect cup of beautifully lathered Cappuccino...brewed with love, sipped for pleasure and enjoyed by all.
Cheers!!!
Natasha
